A Happy Schoolhouse

Our Wolfe School house enjoyed its best day in many years as twenty-two fourth graders from Sutton schools visited on Friday afternoon, October 12th.

The sound of enthusiastic school kids filled the one-room school house at the Sutton Museum.

The one-room school echoed with the sounds of bright and curious kids making the most of a field trip to a giant visual-aid for their current block of studies.

It was a day for the Sutton Historical Society to realize some of the potential of our prized historic building. Speaking for the school building, it was the greatest of days to relive a moment of its past. And I'm sure the kids took away a much better understanding of what it must have been like to attend such a school.

Just as happened thousands of times across rural America, kids posed to capture a memory before a one-room school house.

Thanks to Mrs. Wademan for allowing us to share our afternoon with this great bunch of kids. Good luck to all.
